Summary
Objectives
Energy-saving vehicles: Convert all conventional energy passenger cars to HVs by 2035
EVs and PHVs More than 95% of NEVs to be BEVs
Fuel cell vehicles: Develop FCVs mainly for commercial vehicles, aiming to have car parc (VIO) of 1 million units by 2035.
Intelligent connected vehicles: To large scale operation in 2035
Drive Batteries: Production of next-generation high-performance drive batteries by 2030
NEV electric drive systems: Towards becoming the global leader in the key performance areas of electric powertrain systems
Charging infrastructure: Covering residential and commercial areas nationwide, aiming for 150 million charging support vehicles
Weight reduction technologies: Wide application of composites, high-strength steels and light aluminum alloys in 2035
Smart manufacturing for automobiles: Optimized in a virtual simulation factory and reflected in an actual factory

Summary

According to the announcement by the China Automobile Manufacturers Association (CAAM) on April 9, 2021, NEV sales in March increased by 247.4% from the same month of the previous year to 216,000 units. Sales volume for the January-March period increased 318.6% year-over-year (y/y) to 533,000 units. In the last few years, emerging EV automakers that manufacture electrified models have been established one after another, and existing OEMs have also introduced electrified models. Intensifying competition between companies has forced some manufacturers to withdraw from the market.

In October 2016, the China Society of Automotive Engineering (China-SAE) published the “Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicles Technology Roadmap 1.0" (hereinafter referred to as Roadmap 1.0), which outlined the development direction of electrification in China. In September 2017, the "Method for Simultaneous Management of Passenger Car Company Average Fuel Economy and New Energy Vehicle Credits" was promulgated, requiring all companies manufacturing passenger cars to set annual fuel economy targets and manufacture (or import) a certain number of NEVs. A revised version was announced in 2020.

In late October 2020, “Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicles Technology Roadmap 2.0" (hereinafter referred to as "Roadmap 2.0") was announced by the China Society of Automotive Engineers. This roadmap was commissioned by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of China, and revised and compiled by more than 1,000 experts across the industry and organized by the China Society of Automotive Engineers (China-SAE), presenting the development direction of energy-saving and new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China's automotive industry until 2035. This report covers a portion of the details concerning Roadmap 2.0.

		2025	2030	2035
China production and sales volumes (year)		32 million	38 million	40 million
NEV		20% or more	40% or more	50% or more
	Percentage of BEVs	90% or more	93% or more	95% or more

	2025	2030	2035
Percentage of conventional energy passenger car HVs	50% - 60%	75% - 85%	100%
